I wanted to do this review right. I needed to give some time to test it in certain games under conditions that would allow me to see the potential of the card. I will give a tl;dr at the end for those interested in the bottom-line of price versus performance.
Size: MONSTROUS card. It's every bit of a foot long and in my Alienware Aurora R4 case it covers both PCI-e 16x slots. It isn't filling from the top slot to the bottom rack, but the dimensions are spot on.
Build Quality: Top notch. The card feels absolutely solid to hold. The heatsink/spreader/fan combination had zero movement in it and that was even after I spent time harassing it to get it in my case. If you have the Aurora R4 with the swing arm that is there to increase airflow, I suppose, I eventually just removed the swing arm because it was constantly making contact with my card. I didn't want any vibrations of the card to work together with the air-flow cover to loosen the fan or heatsink. If you are a pro with a dremel though, you might just be able to have your card and your air-flow cover.
Temperature: My most important category: I don't care about pulling exactly 120FPS, I want a card that is going to last me longer than a PS4 and the way to do that is to control the max temperature under load. What good is a graphics card that rides the line of overheating and shortens the overall lifespan of the card? I read that the Twin Frozr was the way to go for maintaining below reference card temperatures. This card nails it with the idling temperature. My GPU right now is at 23C and fluctuates between 23-28C at idle. This is spectacular considering my stock 560 Ti idled between 32 and 35. Under load is where the challenge arose.Read more ›

This graphics card is amazing. I bought this with an intel i5 3570k and I'm LOVING how the graphics and games play. I'm running battlefield 3 on ultra at over 88fps. This graphics card will last you a while. It's a solid product from a reliable company. Also comes with software on it that will help you control over clocking and fan speeds for that extra push in graphical prowess. If you can afford this its worth every penny

Easy instalation, runs incredibly quiet, runs amazingly cool even under stress (rarely 70C). There are guys that say: " 2gb its enough for games right now" ...well i prefer do a future proof inversion(I have games that eat more than 2gb, even playing on 1080p resolution LOL!), but its up to you and your pocket.
A great upgrade from MSI GTX 560 Ti Hawk. Games like Hitman Absolution, Crysis 2/3, Tomb Rider 2013, Splinter Cell Black List, Batman Origin run with 95% of the gameplay.
Obiously I'm a gaming guy(of course I dont know everything) so i will warn you , there are bad optimiced games out there even on the best brands, there are great titles that need a lot of updates fixes, what am I trying to tell you? even with a GTX TITAN your FPS will drop in some games or in some places, or maybe you wished more perfomace on "x" game or part of a game, etc. In other words, not always its cards fault. I hope it helps.
Here are my system specs , I'm open to new ideas and questions, just ask.

This is a great card and performs exactly as it should. Pretty quiet and stays very cool. Recently added another in sli and this is where I have found minor issues
Pros: Performance. (Max Settings on everything I've run including Metro: Last Light) Cooling Low noise
Cons: MSI Gaming app requires SLI to be turned off then back on. (Pretty annoying)
Not a con but a heads up, running with corsair link on windows 8.1 may conflict with MSI afterburner fan Control software and produce high temps if settings are not adjusted. Easily fixed through Afterburner.
I have not overclocked it yet but it seems like it will do very well if I ever decide to based on factory cooling.

Wanted to consolidate my gaming rig to one card (previously set-up was SLI 560tis). This card as ran efficiently and cool. Noise levels are not bothersome either. It has performed fantastically at 1080p resolution. I am using this card in conjunction with the BenQ XL2420TE. Works great.
Update July 2014: This card is still working strong. Most games I can easily reach over 60fps on Ultra @ 1080p. To make it reach my 144hz refresh rate on monitor I sometimes have to take off Anti-aliasing (i don't mind it much) so I can output over 144fps @ 1080p.
This card overclocks well and hasn't given me any issues so far. I have been using the display-port mainly.
